Sewer Line Repair in Temple, NH
Whoever owns a property in Temple owns the lateral under it, out to the main. On iron, what that ownership eventually costs is decided at the bottom of the pipe. There are 509 occupied homes here, and across all the housing the median build year is 1983 — the best single clue to what the pipe is made of and how it tends to fail.
In short
Cast iron on the house side with early PVC beyond it is the usual arrangement under Temple properties, whose housing typically dates from 1983. Iron corrodes along the bottom of the pipe, so a survey looks at the invert rather than at the seams.

What went in the ground around 1983
A lateral laid in Temple in that period is most likely cast iron on the house side and early PVC beyond it. Cast iron corrodes along the bottom of the pipe, so capacity is lost gradually rather than suddenly. More on cast iron laterals.
What a camera survey should settle here
On cast iron the recording should dwell on the bottom of the pipe, where corrosion channels and scale collect. The full picture on cast iron laterals.
Temple is the 113th largest block of laterals we cover in New Hampshire, carrying about 0.1% of the 436,947 homes on our NH list, and its housing runs older than 38% of the NH towns we route. Age concentration matters on a lateral: where a whole street went in one season, the failures arrive in one season too.
Median household income across Temple ZIP codes is $86,528 — which matters because a lateral is one of the few repairs with nobody else to send the invoice to.

Before anyone digs in Temple, get the run on camera — and ask what the bottom of the pipe looks like, because scale along the invert reads as a blockage. What the recording should show you.
